  • Slack, Surplus, and Artificial Variables

    Introducing a slack variable to an inequality constraint transforms the inequality into a non-negativity equality constraint and is, in most cases, required to be a positive value.

  • Using the Simplex Method

    (a) Rewrite the two constraints as equations by adding slack variables S1 and S2. Add one slack variable to each constraint. Let S1 be the slack variable in constraint eq(1) and S2 be the lack variable in constraint eq(2).
